The demise of the music CD inevitable?

Hi,

Back on campus, my senior year. Everywhere I look, its all earbuds and cell phones streaming audio. None of my friends would even consider purchasing a CD! I as well almost completely stopped purchasing CD's now that I have lossless streaming from TIDAL. It seems that SQ is not an issue anymore for this generation, its content that is most important and there is no loss of it out there in the streaming world.

There is still a thriving niche market for audiophile cd’s with stores like Elusive disk, MOFI, Acoustic Sounds, Chesky ,CD Japan etc selling a wide variety of discs incl: DXD, XRCD24, K2HD, SACD, SHM, UHQCD, Ultra HDCD etc. Granted, audiophile cd’s are not cheap, but then again neither are audiophile lp’s.

Unlike those who have archived their cd collection onto a server, I still enjoy interacting with the media & spinning discs. And the sound, atleast through my Vitus SCD-025 Mk2 cdp, is wonderful!
